Aharon 465 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Shalom and greetings all my pals, Does AEROSOFT - TRONDHEIM- VAERNES X 2.0 FSX have memory leak problem? If so, what can I do to fix it? If not, what is causing Radar_Pre_Leak_WOW64 error message for FSX? The description says: 128949909124 5 Radar_Pre_Leak_WOW64 fsx.exe c:Users\Aharon\AppData\Local\Temp\RDR155.temp\empty.text c:Users\Aharon\AppData\Local\Temp\WER156.tempWERInternalMetadata.xml I have no idea what is it???? If Trondheim V2 is not cause of it, then what? I am using FSX Deluxe with SP1 and SP2 set in Windows 10 Pro operating system Thanks, Aharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aharon 465 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Running SFC/scannow shows no problems. Regards, Aharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted July 25, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 25, 2017 Please copy&paste the complete error message from your windows event log in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aharon 465 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Tom, I got fed up by strange freezes of FSX so I rebooted the pc and now I am flying a testing flight while FSX seems to be holding and running without problems. That does not solve my two questions: Why did FSX freeze in few flights yesterday and today? And why was there NO NO NO error messages in the event viewer??? Even though I quoted above the error message's exact words by word by word and by number by number while skipping FSX version number, if you still need, I will copy and paste the complete error message from few days ago even though the event viewer did not classify it as error message because FSX froze few times yesterday and today WITHOUT error messages (how weird is that?) but it seems that your superb Trondheim V 2.0 is not culprit. Meanwhile, FSX is flying now and if I manage to land without incident, I guess simple reboot solves the problem even though it does not answer my two questions.

Aharon 465 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Tom, As promised, here is screenshot of the message. Actually it is not error message as FSX freeze does not produce error messages. Only CTD crashes. So far, I completed a flight today without incident so I guess rebooting the pc solved the problem. I hope so!! Regards, Aharon Please login to display this image.

Shalom Tom, My apologies!! I did not notice that I was supposed to copy more. Since this event viewer procedure does not permit me to make screenshot of WHOLE error message, I made screenshot copy of second part of the error showing message starting from P10 and down so that you will not miss anything from two screenshots showing first and second parts. Already ran recommended precautionary tests such as sfc/scannow and memory diagnostics tool. So far the laptop passed all the tests with flying colors. Yes Radar_Pre_Leak_WOW64 fsx.exe means memory leak but so far tests proved no existence of such memory leak. That is what makes it baffled. So far, I had successfully completed a flight and I am PRAYING that my next flights would not give any problems! I guess rebooting did the trick. Regards, Aharon Please login to display this image.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted July 26, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 26, 2017 As far as I understand the "Radar_Pre_Leak_WOW64" error message (Event ID 1001), that some of your Windows resources are running low due to their usage of the given program, fsx.exe in this case. What are the exact hardware specifications of your system? What other applications do you have up and running while running FSX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other applications do you have up and running while running FSX? Well it is a hot rod laptop with 16GB ram, 6 GB NVIDIA GeForce® GTX1060 video ram, 1TB 7,200 rpm, and 256 GB SSD using Latest 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ processor. Besides, the laptop never told me any memory or OOM error messages. While I was flying on FSX, the only other applications running were usual Norton anti virus and Microsoft MSPaint (for pasting screenshots and saving them) as well as Vatsim software PilotClient v2.0 and any virtual airline's ASCARS. They never posed problems for me past 6 months of flying. Regards, Aharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted July 26, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 26, 2017 Doing some further search on this most hints I saw pointed towards malware/virus infections. It must be definitely something strictly tight to your computer as I have never ever seen (and also Google didn't) any such error message here in the AS forums.

Aharon 465 Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Tom, I hope it is not virus Let's keep fingers crossed and see how FSX performs in coming flights Thanks for investigating this strange problem. By the way, I just bought three Aerosoft sceneries to be installed into my laptop I have two more Aerosoft sceneries to buy later which are Fairbank X and ESSA Stockholm Mega airport. Since Aerosoft ESSA scenery is 8 years old, any plans from Aerosoft to update or upgrade ESSA scenery?? I have Aerosoft Oslo X v 2.0 and Aerosoft Helsinki X but need ESSA scenery to complete the Baltic capitals' airport package for the fun of shuttle service between those three cities.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted July 26, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 26, 2017 I haven't heard of any plans of Aerosoft for a new ESSA, but there is a quite good new rendition from Orbx available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Aharon While it seems doubtful running Paint is part of the issue, are you aware that simply hitting the "V" key while in the sim posts an instant screenshot to a folder in your Pictures folder named after the sim? Give it a try if you haven't. They automatically save as .jpegs at 72 dpi and your screen rez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted July 27, 2017 Aerosoft Share Posted July 27, 2017 That error is simply one of the many way that FS can show you it's running out of memory. The only way to avoid it is to lower settings or use less demanding add-ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aharon 465 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Thanks for explanation, Mathijs. Herman, well all I know is that if I use "V" key function to create and save screenshots, then in this method, each screenshot averages 3 MB file size. If I am using my MSPaint method, then each screenshot averages only 200K file size. Regards, Aharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted July 27, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 27, 2017 Aharon, Hermann was not correct here, as FSX saves the screenshot in bmp format, but you can open the bmp file in Paint and save it as jpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch, Otto. I missed that the topic was the FSX version. FSX does save "V" shots in .bmp while P3D v4 saves them in .jpg. For P3D, my widescreen monitor results in a shot with a resolution of 2560x1080 pixels at 72 dpi for a file size of only 320 KB on the disk. Anyway, the real topic is the error message Aharon is getting and a solution for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
